Summary: Good reference book
Review: A good reference book, if you know and have read Connie's other books. Otherwise, forget it, it's not gonna make any sense.

Summary: A good reference, but...
Review: This is a wonderful reference book, but...

It includes a huge number of chart types and patterns and absolutly no information about them. There are no pointers to information about what the charts mean or even where to start to find it. I've read through a good number of Technical Analysis books so most of the charts make sense but some make no sense. Especially the Gann charts. Maybe I've been reading the wrong books, but I've yet to find book that describes Gann time and price projection properly. You can't show so many charts without giving us a hint about where to look for more information.

I normally really like Constance Brown's books. "All About Technical Analysis" and "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional" are both wonderful books. But this one is just a reference book that is useful to professional traders as a communication reference, but it is useless as a learning tool.
